I can’t stay with my lover
She spread her shame for another
And in my haste I forgave her
And then she laid the friends I made her
Polly said none of them matter anyway
I’m her only true lover
And even though I know she’ll almost always stray
She’s my only lover
On my face I keep it mellow
Anyway, she’s with this fella
Polly said none of them matter anyway
I’m her only true lover
And even though I know she’ll almost always stray
She’s my only lover
On my face I keep it mellow
Anyway, another fella
Polly said none of them matter anyway
I’m her only true lover
And even though I know she’ll almost always stray
She’s my only lover

Red Dress
03:36
|

In the rain with your red dress on
Hair all wet and your makeup runs
Like you did when you got downtown
The money’s good when you go down… town.
Red dress in a red light town
Big kiss the best around
Baby, we don’t need no bed
My back seat’s perfect.
Baby. When you first touched me
Touched me. Worth every penny.
Wake up in the morning in this motel life
Mirror in the bathroom’s fluorescent light
Oh, Reflects against my face. Oh no.
Whatever happens, happens right. Right?
Baby. When you first loved me
Loved me. Worth every penny.

With Fire
03:46

Our time right here is finite
And it’s just past midnight
When the clock strikes one
Ready guns for the sun
When it’s time to fire, I’ll fire
Into the sun, I’ll fire
Gonna watch it burn, I’ll fire
When it comes to us, I’ll fight
Fire with fire with fire.
Your eyes go deep inside of me
And they burrow deep.
Going crazy for you.
Confused, weary & tired
My mind made me a liar
When it said I had a chance
To look into the fire.
When it’s time to fire, I’ll fire
Into the sun, I’ll fire
Gonna watch it burn, I’ll fire
When it comes to us, I’ll fight
Fire with fire with fire.
Your eyes go deep inside of me
And they burrow deep.
Going crazy for you.
When it’s time to fire, I’ll fire
Into the sun, I’ll fire
Gonna watch it burn, I’ll fire
When it comes to us, I’ll fight
Fire with fire with fire.

No Maker

Way down the birth canal
A wicked world waits for me
Was it worth going through a birth
Just so I could kick and scream
Wailing like an ancient wall
Poor souls at my feet
Try on what fits hang your crucifix
On some rosary beads.
The boogey man waits
Below the pearly gates
On Friday the 13th
Sirens with horns in a sticky web of porn
With visits by a clergy.
Raging hormones as they recite liturgies
Oh, pray to your god
Hope he understands it all
and hope he’s forgiving.
Dante, we don’t have no wood to keep burning
The brimstone’s getting cold and the story’s even older.
Stop and smell the cowards
God is in the hours
Faith in the numbers
Logic is a deity.

Made of Gold

Stay don’t go
It’s not that I need you but I really wouldn’t know
It’s all for show
Would it really matter if I wanted to know.
Feeling low
A taste, a fix so I’m never alone
I’m dying slow
You’re kind of killing me, but I just can’t say no.
Made of gold
Heart. Fingertips. You still play with it.
You’re so cold
Left a gaping hole with a smirk on your lips
What I’m told
Put it in a hole & never let it escape
I’m not so bold
A little too much, I’ll resign in this cage.
You’re the one who wanted
To push it too damn far
Never be that man
‘Cos I don’t know who you are.
You’re the one who wanted to push it too far.

Animals
02:02
|

Big bang and the stars start to fly away
Space dust then the Milky Way
And simple began to complicate
When the predator took
Took center stage.
Look out! Their eyes aren’t very far away
Listen. Their ears are even closer yet
And fingers, they type what they want
The predator holds a stake in our stock.
Besides burials what makes an animal want to find his soul
Besides his soul what makes an animal, what makes an animal whole
We’re whole animals regardless of a hole that couldn’t be filled at all.

False Flag

Ashes fall like leaves
Fire like waves & a disease
Watch it burn to the ground
Paranoid dreams. Oh they spread around.
On our way down off the ledge it all made sense
The answer came to me faster than it went
We’re made to look like fools
When we want to see.
The wizard behind the screen
Oh, watch as he tugs and pulls at the strings.
Choking as the smoke surrounds us
Gasping for air or anything
Blinded as the smoke surrounds us
We’d rather be looking at a screen.
Colorful things. Contemporary.
Dressed in the latest fashions, oh modernity.
Flashy bling. Diamonds and vice.
It all depends on which flavor you’d rather try.
On our way down off the ledge it all made sense
The answer came to me faster than it went
We’re made to look like fools
When we want to see.
The wizard behind the screen
Oh, watch as he tugs and pulls at the strings.
Choking as the smoke surrounds us
Gasping for air or anything
Blinded as the smoke surrounds us
We’d rather be looking at a screen.

Big Screen
03:12

We went to the movies
And we saw our lives on a screen
A romance indeed
At first rated G.
Didn’t take too long, til we fucked an R rated scene
Skipped PG. NC-17.
Spoke in tongues in the theatre
In the glow of the big screen
I stayed in my seat, but you couldn’t be
Tied down to the script where you only loved me.
I paid for a ticket for a happy ending
Was it all a lie or were you just acting
Spoke in tongues in the theatre
In the glow of the big screen
I stayed in my seat, but you couldn’t be
Tied down to the script where you only loved me.
Tied down to the script where you only loved me
Was it all a lie or were you just acting.
We went to the movies
And we saw our lives on a screen
What a tragedy
When you first fucked me
Tied down to the script where you only loved me
Was it all a lie or were you just acting.

Hymnal
03:40
|

Stood in the line of fire of a smoking gun
Twelve shots and rounds bought for everyone
Drink up in the early morning greet the sun
Fade out of consciousness.
Fade out.
Black out dark night afternoon
Spun out & sloppy drunk in the other room
Hide out before she finds that smoking gun
The one that’s hot from being shot at everyone.
Trying to get it away
Trying to get it away
Trying to get you away
Trying to get away
Black out dark night afternoon
Spun out & sloppy drunk in the other room
Hide out before she finds that smoking gun
The one that’s hot from being shot at everyone.
Trying to get it away
Trying to get it away
Trying to get you away
Trying to get away
